I am a Mom of 2 who likes to go for walks. I have a tandem stroller that I use. I push about 90 lbs of weight so I am unable to swing my arm while walking. My Blaze is picking up my active mins from my heart rate but I am not getting credit for most of my steps. Any suggestions on how to? I would like to be able to get it to register my heart and steps so I do not want to wear it on my shoes or such.

Thanks : )

Welcome to the forums!

 

Problem is holding on to something will not give accurate steps. No really way around it.

You want the heart rate and that's only going to be accurate on your arm.

 

So you have the choice which is more important to you As to how you wear it when walking.
